she's beautiful; you shot her well. I'd like to see the dark areas a bit lighter but her beauty steals the show

That's gorgeous! Maybe darken her front arm a little bit, so the eye is drawn more to her face?

Hi,

My comments or suggestions below are not a criticism of you, your model, your talent or skill. I offer them in a friendly tone of voice and with the sole intent to help you with a second POV and set of eyes. If you read sincere questions and simple suggestions as "criticism" of you, then you will miss how I am trying to help you.

Of course this may be your own "style" or your own "vision" and I suppose we can assume that the images look just like they do because that is exactly how you like them. That is OK too. It just shows that there are differences of "opinion" on what looks good. IF these are exactly what you want and like, then by all means continue making your images look like that and have fun doing it. I can only speak for myself and what I do or do not find appealing in the posted photos. As I always say: "Follow your own muse."

Another nice portrait by you...as usual.

Well done!

What do I not like?

I don't really like the claw hand (her left hand), as the finger catches the light and draws my eye to that claw shape.

I hope these comments help you.

An absolutely beautiful woman, nicely captured. My only thought is that the tip of her nose and upper lip look a bit bright to me. A bit of darkening would help to my eye.

Lovely subject, and for the most part, I really like your lighting. My only suggestion is that it looks like the lighting is set up to largely light both eyes equally, but her left eye is well-lit and her right eye is not as well lit. You could probably fix that with some pp, but that's me, my style, my vision. For you, this might be perfect as it is.

Nicely done!

Hi Aaron, nice to see a post from you. I've always loved your work a lot. But I have to confess that this particular shot didn't strike me with as much admiration and I usually feel from your shots. I think the first thing I noticed was similar to what Ron says above where the main light is coming from her right, but that right eye being dark just feels odd to me, even though I know it's because of the hair. But that's really a nit pick and it's just because you've set the bar so high ;-)

Like it...but the background is trying to steal the show.
